Mr Kofi Adams, a former National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said the creation of Oti Region out of Volta Region would ignite development that would elevate both areas.

He said regional reorganisations held more socio- economic benefits, and must be endorsed by all.

Mr Adams said this during a health walk organised by the Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) on the creation of the proposed Oti Region.

"My view is that if we have an Oti out of Volta, we will be having Volta and Oti and the two would now put their heads together to see how they can effectively plan for the development of the two zones."

"Creating Oti doesn't mean that giant walls will be built between Oti and Volta Region and that you have to seek permission from one side to go into the other side... No! We continue to coexist and expect that in terms of constitutional arrangements some development would come into the Oti zone", he said.

Mr Adams encouraged the people to come out in their numbers and vote "massively for "yes".
